A resort town in Thailand has become the scene of a gruesome death.
A Chinese man is accused of killing and mutilating Woranan Pannacha, a transgender woman, in Pattaya after she allegedly refused to have sex with him, police said, according to The Bangkok Post.
The suspect, 42, was arrested at the Samut Prakan airport and allegedly confessed to killing the 25-year-old on April 25.
He allegedly met her on a beach and offered her 8,000 baht (about $240) to come to his room to have sex, but when she arrived and refused his advances, he demanded a partial refund. When she declined, the pair allegedly got into a physical altercation and he strangled her to death.
The man allegedly took her body into the bathroom and used scissors to cut open her breasts and pull out her silicone implants. He told police he wanted to "play" with Pannacha's body, so he cut her open from her neck to her genitals and removed her heart, according to the Post.
Police said Pannacha's lungs also went missing, but the suspect reportedly denied touching those organs.
Chonburi police commander Tawatkiat Jindakuansanong later shed light on the possible motive, telling reporters per the South China Morning Post, 'He confessed and said that he had seen a TV series and wanted to try to cut open the victim and remove the organs."
The man—who worked as a welder in China—allegedly apologized, saying he could not control himself during the fight, per the Bangkok Post.

Public health alert issued for ground beef sold nationwide possibly contaminated with E. coli
ALABAMA (WHNT) — Ground beef products sold in Whole Foods Market retail locations could possibly be contaminated with E. Coli. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service, a 'high alert' was issued for ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli Tuesday. 'FSIS is issuing this public health alert to ensure that consumers are aware that these products should not be consumed. A recall was not requested because the products are no longer available for purchase,' the USDA said. The raw ground beef item was produced on May 22 and May 23. Below is a picture of the ground beef product placed under a public health alert: PHA-06032025-01-LabelsDownload 1-lb. vacuum-packed packages of 'ORGANIC RANCHER ORGANIC GROUND BEEF 85% LEAN 15% FAT' with 'Use or Freeze By 06-19-25' and 'Use or Freeze By 06-20-25' as represented on the packaging. The product has the establishment number 'EST. 4027' inside the USDA mark of inspection. This item was shipped to distributor locations in Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois and Maryland and was then distributed to Whole Foods Market retail locations nationwide. The problem was discovered when the establishment notified FSIS that they had shipped into commerce ground beef product that tested positive for E. coli O157:H7. There have been no confirmed reports of illness because of the consumption of these ground beef products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider. 'E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause dehydration, bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps 2–8 days (3–4 days, on average) after exposure to the organism. While most people recover within a week, some develop a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). This condition can occur among persons of any age, but is most common in children under 5 years old and older adults. It is marked by easy bruising, pallor, and decreased urine output. Persons who experience these symptoms should seek emergency medical care immediately,' the USDA said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Mar-A-Lago Intruder Busted After Jumping Wall To Marry Trump's Granddaughter: Police
A Texas man is in custody after allegedly climbing a wall at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida and telling security he was there to marry Trump's granddaughter and 'spread the gospel.' Anthony Thomas Reyes, 23, was arrested a little after midnight Tuesday after confessing to having 'jumped over the wall to get into the property,' according to a copy of a Palm Beach Police report obtained by HuffPost. Reyes allegedly told Secret Service agents he was there to 'spread the gospel to [Trump] and marry Kai.' Kai is Trump's 18-year-old granddaughter, whose parents are Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Haydon. Reyes, whose presence at Mar-a-Lago triggered alarms along a perimeter fence, was taken into custody without incident and charged with occupied trespassing, a Secret Service spokesperson told HuffPost Wednesday. 'No Secret Service protectees were present at the time of this incident,' the spokesperson added. This was the second time that Reyes, who's listed as residing outside Dallas, has been accused of trespassing at Trump's Florida home. He allegedly also trespassed on New Year's Eve, according to the police report. Jailhouse records show that he was being held on a $50,000 bond Wednesday. A public defender listed as representing Reyes did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Kai, who is a competitive golfer and student, gave a speech last summer about her grandfather at the 2024 Republican National Convention. Her father later warned prospective suitors to stay away from his daughter amid her public launch. 'Get away, you little bastards, and stay away,' he told her admirers in an interview with Fox News. 2 Chinese Researchers Accused Of Smuggling 'Potential Agroterrorism Weapon' Into U.S. John Stamos Breaks Silence Amid Backlash Over His Visit To Trump's Mar-A-Lago Democrat Asks Trump If Elon Musk Was On Drugs In The White House Man Accused Of Faking Trump Death Threat In Attempt To Get Witness Against Him Deported Judge Blocks Release Of Report On Mar-a-Lago Probe

Ground beef flagged for possible E.Coli contamination
A major health alert has been issued for ground beef products due to possible E. coli contamination. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert Wednesday about the one-pound vacuum-packed packages of Organic Rancher ground beef over contamination concerns. However, a recall on the beef products was not issued because they are no longer available for purchase, according to the health alert. The affected beef had a 'Use or Freeze by' date of either June 19, 2025, or June 20, 2025, on the packaging and the establishment number, EST. 4027. The item was shipped to distributor locations in Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, and Maryland, and Whole Foods Market retail stores nationwide. An alert on the beef was issued after NPC Processing Inc., which owns Organic Rancher, told FSIS the shipped beef tested positive for a strain of E. coli known to cause severe illness in humans. At the time of writing, there have not been any reports of illness. Still, the FSIS is concerned that the product is in consumers' refrigerators or freezers. So, shoppers are being urged to either throw away the beef or return it to the place of purchase. According to the alert from the FSIS, 'E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause dehydration, bloody diarrhea, and abdominal cramps two to eight days after exposure to the organism.' The condition can occur among people of any age, but it is most common in older adults and children under five years old. Early symptoms can include easy bruising, pallor, and decreased urine output. The health alert for the ground beef comes days after a popular sparkling water was voluntarily recalled over contamination fears. Coca-Cola sent a letter to Costco members Monday announcing that they were voluntarily recalling Topo Chico Mineral Water due to the possible presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacteria that occurs naturally in water sources, including mineral water. According to the letter, the health risks of consuming mineral water with Pseudomonas are 'very low' in healthy individuals and will only cause 'minor health consequences' in people with 'weakened immune systems.' The recall specifically applies to bottles that were sold at select Costco warehouses in Texas and Louisiana from May 20 to May 29, 2025. Last week, an ongoing tomato recall was elevated by the FDA after it found that a possible salmonella risk could lead to death. The recall of H&C Farms Label tomatoes was announced in May, after Williams Farms Repack LLC distributed the potentially salmonella-contaminated tomatoes to wholesalers in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia. The FDA recently upgraded the recall to a Class I, described as 'a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.'
